The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 493 Trivial Campus Life

It snowed heavily that night and didn't stop until early morning. The snow in the school was two feet deep.

The twins saw that Ada was feeling depressed, so they made snowboards overnight and took Ada outside to relax and stroll early this morning.

As the saying goes, it is cold before frost and cold after snow. In order to keep out the cold, Ada also took great pains and covered herself tightly.

With a fur hat, a heavy coat, and gloves as warm as hand warmers, Ada was ready to go on a scientific expedition to the Arctic.

The three of them took turns sitting on the special snowboard, while the other two pulled the snowboard in front. It was Ada's turn to sit on the snowboard, and looking at the twins pulling the snowboard in front of her, she suddenly felt that the two brothers were like two huskies who were ruining the house.

The raw material for this snowboard came from a wardrobe, which Ada estimated was not the twins' own wardrobe.

As soon as Ada said this with a smile, the twins immediately ran back, pushed her off the snowboard without saying a word, and then buried her in the thick snow.

Unable to fight four hands with two fists, Ada had to beg for mercy from the twins, and was then dug out from the snow pile by the two brothers.

After a long time of hard work, the three of them sat on the snowboard to rest. The twins were really energetic and couldn't sit still. Even when they were sitting down to rest, they kept rolling snowballs.

Before long, two rows of snowballs were placed in front of the three people.

Without saying anything, the three of them started to cast a spell on the snowball. Under the effect of the magic, the snowball flew high and hit the castle window heavily.

Just when the three of them were having fun and using magic to make the snowball fly up to the Gryffindor Tower again, the window of the common room was suddenly pushed open, and a fiery red head popped out and shouted loudly: "I am the prefect, and if another snowball hits this window - Ouch!"

It was Ron. He retracted his head faster than he could stick his head out, his face covered with snow.

"Hit the bull's eye, score!" Fred raised his arms high, as if hitting his brother with a snowball was like winning the championship.

"Good shot, Fred!" George shouted, "It's a shame you're not a Chaser!"

At this point, the two brothers suddenly fell silent. They were no longer chasers, not even beaters, and their brooms had been confiscated by the old evil woman Toad.

Ada jumped between the two of them, holding one in each hand, and dragged Fred and George to the Black Lake. The surface of the Black Lake was frozen solid, and many students were skating and sledding on the ice. The cheers from them made Ada want to join them.

The ice was bustling with activity. Some beginners were walking on the ice with the help of their companions, some advanced players were speeding in places with few people, and some were even figure skating, which drew cheers from the onlookers.

Ada tapped the soles of her shoes with her magic wand, and ice skates appeared instantly, turning her thick-soled cotton boots into a pair of skates. She also tapped the soles of the twins' shoes, and the brothers' shoes also had ice skates.

The three people with equipment rushed onto the ice like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, but their technical level was really not satisfactory. They fell on their butts after every three or five steps, and fell flat on their backs after eight or nine steps.

But even so, Ada and the twins still had a lot of fun, and only reluctantly returned to the castle at lunchtime.

Although the conversation with Dumbledore that night ended unpleasantly, Ada also came to terms with it and reached a reconciliation with herself. There was really no need for her to keep paying attention to things she hated.

You have to know that Umbridge's position is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and no one can stay in this position for a full year. Every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be unable to continue teaching for various reasons, and some have died in office.

There's nothing special to say, I just hope the curse will defeat Umbridge soon.

The twins hung out with Ada all day, and when they learned of her best wishes for Umbridge, they thought it made perfect sense, so they shared them with Lee Jordan.

Lee Jordan, who was very talented in trumpeting, found out about it and immediately spread the wish to the whole school. May the curse defeat Umbridge soon, and this wish became a collective prayer activity before and after meals.

You can't blame the students of Hogwarts for being vicious, you can only say that Umbridge is really hateful. Ada didn't make any special comments on this, she just lived her last campus life and enjoyed the convenience brought by the Hogwarts library.

The life in the seventh grade was very easy for Ada. Compared with her grades, her courses were very few. Ada had plenty of time to do what she liked. She was just too idle before.

Every morning after breakfast, if there were early classes, Ada would go to class. If there were no classes, she would appear in front of Madam Pince on time, shaking the professor's note in an annoying manner, and swaggering into the restricted book area.

When the Room of Requirement was not open, Ada would practice alone, fighting against her own Trial Doll. There were no techniques or fancy moves, just the most direct exchange of spells and collision of magic.

Ada didn't know why she started to like single-point instant kills.

Could it be that she suddenly realized the true meaning of magic, understood what simplicity is, and what is meant by "no matter how things change, they remain essentially the same"?

That is of course impossible. Pursuing the source of magic power would probably take Aida's entire life. However, it is true that her practical ability has improved.

During this period, Ada's friends were also not idle, they were all busy with different things.

Fred and George continued with their little business, picking on Umbridge whenever they were in a bad mood.

The short-sighted Umbridge became the twins' experimental subject, and the brothers used their newly developed quick-acting candy for skipping classes on Umbridge.

There were several times when Umbridge was "teaching" and her nose would bleed continuously and she couldn't stop it. Her ugly face turned pale and scary. Sometimes Umbridge would suddenly vomit, faint while walking, etc.

As this happened more and more often, everyone became more convinced that the curse would eventually overcome Umbridge's good wishes, so the students' prayers became more devout.

As the Quidditch captain, Angelina was busy organizing the team's training and also training the two newly found beaters, Andrew Kirk and Jack Sloper.

It’s not that the performance of these two new team members was amazing, but that the performance of the others was so poor that only these two looked like human beings.

Alia and Katie took Ron to do special training. Every time they trained, Ron was overwhelmed by the two girls' continuous shooting.

Ron would have nightmares the night after training, and his dreams were full of the Quaffle flying around him.

Time passed quickly during this period of time when nothing mattered, and December arrived in the blink of an eye amidst heavy snow.

The snow at Hogwarts was getting thicker and thicker. The snow-covered castle and the silver-white Hogsmeade in the distance looked like a fairy tale, but Ada could no longer sit idle. As the president of the girl union, she had to come to life.

It was freezing cold in Scotland in December, and most of the first and second grade students stayed indoors. As the head girl, Ada had to lead the class leaders to take care of them.

Taking care of a group of troublemakers and little brats in the lower grades is not an easy job. Several class leaders have lost their voices from shouting.

In a few days, preparations for Christmas will begin, and Ada and the prefects will help the professors decorate the castle.

Hanging ribbons and climbing up and down are easy enough, but the main problem is that Peeves is always making trouble, pushing ladders, pulling ribbons, tightening screws, etc. His methods of making trouble are endless.

Peeves didn't dare to do anything to the professor and Ada, so he turned his attention to the prefects who came to help.

In order to prevent the prefects from being hanged on the ladder by Peeves, Ada had to be on guard against him all the time, which was exhausting.
